Ghost Hunt Gresley Old Hall | Derby

Haunted Evenings, the first ever ghost hunting company to offer public ghost hunt events at the incredibly eerie Gresley Old Hall, are excited to announce that we are back once again to show budding ghost hunters, what really does happen here in this haunted building!As you head upstairs from the comforts of the baseroom, it feels like a totally different building, rooms are back to bare plaster and in serious need of repair, windows are missing, some boarded up, there’s holes in the roof and resident pigeons up in the rafters. It’s a unique location and often takes guests by surprise as they explore the upper floors and discover just how raw this place has become over time but one things for sure, it makes for the perfect ghost hunting setting!

History of Gresley Old Hall

Gresley Old Hall, a 17th Century Grade II listed building, situated near Swadlincote, was built on the site of a Priory (Old Gresley Priory 1135-1140). Built in 1734, it replaced the original hall built in 1556!. With the land holding so much history and the current Gresley Old Hall having an intriguing past all of its own, there is little question that this makes for a gem of a spooky location. The middle floor has 6 back to bare bones rooms to investigate, the eerie atmosphere here is amazing. With haunted activity captured in every room… The attic is the place to be if you fancy the challenge of a lone vigil?!

Paranormal Activity at Gresley Hall

We’ve experienced plenty of paranormal activity here from strong EVP’s, action on the Ouija board and footsteps heard on the landing going upstairs to the attic. One guest about jumped out of her skin when something shouted in her ear through the amplified DVR device! Every room seems to have captured evidence and the attic definitely seems to be the place to try out experiments. Not only have we experienced strange happenings using traditional techniques, our extensive equipment seems to be triggered here. Why not have a go at using all the latest equipment and test your bravery by wandering off with the kit and sensing first hand, just what ghost hunting in a haunted location really feels like?!

Event Review

09.06.18

Our sunny Saturday evening was spent over at Gresley Old Hall, a place we’re so familiar with it feels like home, albeit a rather dilapidated one! (Understatement!)…As you head upstairs from the comforts of the baseroom, it feels like a totally different building, rooms are back to bare plaster and in serious need of repair, windows are missing, some boarded up, there’s holes in the roof and resident pigeons up in the rafters. It’s a unique location and often takes guests by surprise as they explore the upper floors and discover just how raw this place has become over time but one things for sure, it makes for the perfect ghost hunting setting!Joined last night by a new bunch of guests and after a walk round of the location, we split guests down into small groups to try out a variety of vigils in all areas.Some child spirits were picked up around the building. During a ouija board session in the front upper rooms one child gave her name as Grace, aged 6, who proceeded to come through later during a dowsing rod experiment on the same floor.Movement devices and a breathy voice were picked up on in the attic which indicated a presence was amongst the group. On asking if they wanted help, the response was no and to leave.During the kit vigil, guests got the chance to go it alone, spitting off with as much kit as they could carry. Whilst some guests felt uneasy in one room, for others it seemed quite calm and quiet. Other than a few spikes on the EMF meters, most activity was detected using traditional methods during the investigation.Thank you to a wonderful friendly bunch of guests who cracked on investigating this old Hall and who helped reduce the excessive stock pile of hotdogs throughout the evening! (Mission complete by midnight!) You were all fab!
